The Aram Khachaturian House-Museum in Yerevan announced a new project in 2023 in collaboration with designer Vardoui Nazarian. The museum granted her access to archival posters from the ballets Spartacus, Gayane, and Happiness.
Vardoui Nazarian developed a capsule collection for the museum, working at the intersection of advertising art, fashion, and new technologies. The collection features garments made from unconventional materials, including milk-based fabrics.
The project aims to draw the attention of Vardoui Nazarian’s audience and the international press to Armenia — a small country that gave the world great cultural figures like Aram Khachaturian. Proceeds from the collection will go toward supporting the Aram Khachaturian House-Museum in Yerevan and preserving the legacy of the renowned Armenian composer.
The project — which Vardoui Nazarian has been developing for over two years — is scheduled to launch in September 2025 under the patronage of the Tuff Foundation.
